The fact somebody cleans the bathroom twice a week so we don't have to makes things so much better, i'm more worried about grinding my face off on the exposed brickwork in the rooms than anything else.....

or getting a massive splinter from the wooden walls.

LOL! ^^
Yeah because we'll be spending out time rubbing up against the brickwork/wooden walls all day - as you do..

'Barry Keel, the council chief executive, said the universities were blaming "governance issues" – but governance could be changed if necessary. Councillors unanimously voted to call for the universities to pause the process of splitting and hold formal consultations.'

Governance could be changed :P

I's there like an official petition opposing this split, because seeing as how were all potential stakeholders i'd really like to sign one.

I doubt the split will actually go ahead, nothing is final yet (by the looks of things, it has not even been approved by the councils such as the GMC etc.).
Some very hasty announcements were made that could make some people look very stupid soon..
Then again, I could be completely wrong and 2013 could be the end of Peninsula

Just got my pack today and I've been allocated to Plymouth. I did want Exeter a bit more but I'm sure I'll have a great time wherever.
Is everyone planning on applying for halls, since we apparently have priority?

I've also been allocated Plymouth and I will choosing and applying for my halls soon. Any suggestions? Where do you spend most of your time? Is it better to be really close to main campus, or a bit closer to the med school up by Derriford, like 'Alexandra works'?

I got a exeter medical school prospectus in the post and next to "exeter medical school awarding MBBS" (paraphrase) it had a little asterisk that was noted "with approval of GMC" and i just thought, wow this is really slapdash and i feel sorry for peninsula students.

Would be very funny if the GMC just turned around and said no. I doubt they would very much though.

Cheers That's quite good, do you know if you get sinks in the room? Not sure about 5 to a toilet&bathroom though... when we'll all be getting up at roughly the same time :L

Yeah apparently you do, which is good because i dont fancy another £30 per week for a en suite

The GMC will require that they are satisfied at every level before they give their approval. So that will be a very long process.

In the meantime if the split proceeds both the courses will be IDENTICAL and have very similar rotations.

Far more thought should have gone into this prior to the announcement with far more consultation, the entire situation has been handled backwards.

They made the easy decision before planing the specifics, which to everyone seems completely rushed and thoughtless.

I was just about to apply for accommodation for Plymouth, but was wondering where you spend most of the first year as a med student. Is it the John Bull building near Derriford hospital? I thought this because that is where all the letters are coming from.
